Abstract In this study, dispersion of tungsten carbide on AISI 304 stainless steel substrate has been carried out by laser melting of the sand blasted substrate using 5 kW continuous wave (CW) Nd-YAG laser (with the beam diameter of 3 mm) with an output power ranging from 1.5 - 2 kW and scan speed varying from 12 to 16 mm/s and simultaneous feeding of premixed WC+Co in the ratio of 1:4 (with a flow rate of 10 mg/s). The microstructure of the composite zone is dendritic or cellular in morphology and consists of nano-tungsten carbide (both WC and W2C) and M23C6 precipitates. There is an enhancement in hardness from 220 VHN of the as-received substrate to 290 - 400 VHN. The wear resistance is improved significantly with a maximum enhancement observed in the sample processed with an applied power of 2 kW and a scan speed of 12 mm/s. The corrosion rate in a 3.56 wt.% NaCl solution is significantly reduced due to laser processing. However, there is a deterioration of pitting corrosion resistance (in terms of shifting of Epit towards active direction) for all the samples, except for the sample processed with an applied power of 2 kW and a scan speed of 12 mm/s.
